The Nigeria Union of Journalists- NUJ condemns the gangster-like outburst by Chief Femi Fani Kayode against the Cross River State Correspondent of the Daily Trust Newspaper, Eyo Charles who asked him a simple question which he felt was embarrassing.


In his reaction, Kayode assaulted the journalist and threatened him for daring to ask such a question.


By denigrating the journalist, Fani Kayode has exposed himself the more as an intolerant and unstable person who will not want his activities closely scrutinised by the Media.
It is instructive to remind the likes of Fani Kayode that it is the Constitutional right of Journalists to monitor and keep a check on people and institutions in power.


By delving into politics and holding political office, Fani Kayode is very conversant
with the watchdog role of the media.


For him to have embarked on assessment of projects in some states, even though we are yet to be told under what platform, he is doing so, it is proper for the media to hold him to account for his actions and decisions.


His reaction was totally unacceptable, dishonourable and reprehensible and we demand for retraction of his untoward, irritating and awkward utterances which negate simple decorum and civility.


We are more shocked that the same Kayode who had in recent times, used his social media handles to call leaders to account is at the same time attacking a Journalist for a simple demand for him to unmask those behind his nationwide tour. He had already visited six states. This is indeed, terribly disappointing.

Very uncultured and uncouth

He is truly mad as Mr Jollof claimed.
He is a frustrated bully

Probably Fani Kayode just finished sniffing that white stuff before going for the press conference.

Abeg nobe talk am ooo. Make una go ask Festus Keyamo

That is the same person encouraging us to overthrow a democratically elected government, a character that can't tolerate even a QUESTION!!

Imagine an ffk governing a state or a country.

I can only imagine what his babies mama has been silently putting up with at home. Dude is a monster.

FFK is simply unstable in mind, nothing stop him from answering such question with a joke and everyone smile over it. No amount of apology can undo his wrong deed

Yoruba terrorist

Probably the writer just arrived Nigeria..

FFK is one of the sons that describe their fathers house without left hand

Apolowetin??
We are talking about a crack head person here biko.

Is it now the NUJ realized that FFK is uncultured? He abuses Buhari, Lai Mohammed and fulani tribe on a daily basis and they are happy publishing his views but because he just corrected one of them for asking a stupid question, they now see him as uncultured. The hypocrisy in this country is unmatched anywhere .
